Story

Rationalist roots

Mario Asnago and Claudio Vender began their professional partnership in the 1930s; Flexform's page counts them among the leading exponents of Italian rationalism. It calls the Moka chair surprisingly modern despite its age and dense with design references to pure rationalism.

Designed in 1939, produced since 1985

The chair dates from 1939 and has been part of the Flexform collection since 1985. The page places its pure, uncomplicated design among the products meant to stay untouched by the passage of time and fleeting fashions.
